Honestly I think another Death Magnetic-style record with more focused, pared-down songs and better production would be pretty solid. Also solos that aren't utterly abysmal, but that's a long shot at this point.
Eagerly looking forward to the ill-conceived John Zorn/Steve Buscemi collaboration they'll release instead

I have to be missing something, because it seems odd that for a genre like death and roll or black and roll there are only a couple of examples of each.

Like old Entombed, Black Breath, Blood Duster, Midnight, and....

Forgot how good the ol' EM's reviews are:

quote:

I'm sure that you, the reader, has at some point in their life had one of those sleepless nights where your mind keeps throwing questions at you and all you can do is lie there straining to figure out how that stain got on the ceiling and more importantly, what the stain is. On these types of nights I always come back to the same question "Is it possible to sound like Meshuggah but even worse?", and for weeks I can happily say that there was no answer to this diabolical question. Then I came across this album and wept because this is the irrefutable proof that there is no god; no being would let such an album come into creation unless they possessed a truly perverted and reprehensible sense of humour.

Textures take your basic Meshuggah formula but then decide to glue on some melodic sections, clean vocals and other 'progressive' features. The word cluster-gently caress comes to mind in the sense that they've managed to mash together two contrasting styles and make them interact about as smoothly as throwing sodium dust into a vat of water. The groove riffs sound like Meshuggah but less crunchy and mechanical, and the melodic sections sound not unlike they were ripped straight from a modern rock album. I can't begin to express just how utterly dumb and idiotic this album sounds; "Awake" showcases a terrible clean section for the first minute before it dives into the groove riffing with a metalcore-esque yell and chugs away into the distance in a retard frenzy that doesn't let up. Then of course there's the keyboards which only appear during the choruses to pump out an ambient backdrop that was no doubt stolen from some half rate post-rock album.

There's very little I can say about this album other than its like Meshuggah but even worse. Some of the riffs sound as though they were taken directly from their latter-era, especially 'Nothing' whilst the other riffs are either simple groove riffs in the same vein as Lamb of God or simple modern rocks riffs during the clean sections. The vocalist isn't quite as monotonous as Meshuggah’s and sounds akin to other metalcore singers who yell rather than scream/squeal. He's pretty generic overall but his clean vocals are quite decent if not whiny. However the rest of the band is forgettable because the music is so dull and uninspired; this album does nothing to be inventive and seems to thrive off sounding like everything else as a means to get praise and recognition.

This album is awful, abhorrent and some other mean words I can't think of right now. If you're a huge fan of Meshuggah, and I mean so huge that you thought the new edition of 'Nothing' wasn't a mindless cash grab and didn't consider it to be completely unnecessary,
then I whole heartedly recommend this album to you. For the rest of us who didn't spend their childhoods drinking harsh industrial solvents your time and money could be spent better on pretty much anything, up to and including the dangling of genitals over crocodile enclosures.
note: i am sure many(most[all]) of you will agree with the review but it's still written by my favorite kind of metalhead

On Divinity of Death they managed to nail the cheap, lovely rototom sound from Sepultura's Schizophrenia. Now that's dedication to your craft.

My mind is blown that there is literally nowhere to buy a digital download of Beyond Creations "The Aura". :psyduck:


Amazon doesn't have it, iTunes doesn't have it, CDBaby doesn't have it, hell, they don't even have an official site to buy it from (although I DID find a merch store that sold a physical copy that I wasn't interested in buying over the internet).

Anybody like Dalriada? Their album Napisten Hava (late 2012) kicks rear end. It's not the faddish, gimmicky kind of folk-metal. It's good power metal organically mixed with Hungarian folk music & themes. Basically it's like if Arkona was based on Hungarian power metal instead of Russian black metal.

Yeah I keep checking their facebook page for updates. They just can't seem to make it to the states.

If I remember right, Mr. Bling knows more about what they've been up to. I want to say the signer just finished a different project? I'm stabbing at the dark here though.

Sepulchre is basically Megiddo (or at least the old Megiddo lineup), and currently Megiddo are deep in the midst of rehearsing and planning for playing the Wings of Death fest in Montreal (killer lineup btw, anyone who can go should). They're going to play the entirety of the Devil and the Whore there, as well as some "new" tracks. Since most of us having been waiting for a new Megiddo album for longer than Sepulchre have existed, I'm kind of hoping this means they're recording new stuff too (please).
